Michael Todd Chrisley's House is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Todd is the CEO of Chrisley Asset Managment, a commercial real estate firm. He purchased this house in 2006 for $9,000,000, from Jill Robinson, daughter of J. Mack Robinson, Atlanta businessman whom the GSU college of business is named after.

Chrisley's house is 12,751 square feet, which he shares with his wife Julie, and their children Lindsie, Kyle, Chase, Savannah and Grayson.

Todd Chrisley is now the star of a USA network television show titled Chrisley Knows Best, which first aired on March 11, 2014.

Michael Todd Chrisley's net worth is estimated to be at $5 million. He claims to have made 95% of his wealth from real estate.

Todd and his family are not shy about their wealth. On the show he mentions "In a year, we sometimes spend $300,000 or more, just on clothing". However, due to several lawsuits (related to sexual harassment at Chrisley Asset Management) and debt (from a failed real estate development loan), Chrisley filed for bankruptcy in August 2012 with debts of over $49 million.

Todd lost this property to foreclosure in 2012

This house was built on the ABC reality TV show in January 2005. The Harper's old home had a faulty septic system, and was torn down in order to build this spacious four bedroom home. At the time, this was the largest home built for the show. This episode is memorable in that host Ty Pennington had to leave the project to have his appendix removed. The episode first aired on February 20, 2005.

Three years later, the house is on the auction block after the Harper's used the house as collateral on a loan for a construction business that failed. The mayor of the city and some of the 1800 volunteers who helped on the six day construction project have vented their frustrations at the Harper's for squandering their gift house.

Last October [2008], the production company for the movie, “The Joneses,” looked in the Alpharetta area for a house to rent for an “A-list” movie star who had a lead role in the film. They saw a home for sale online, paid a visit and immediately fell in love. Who was the star that wanted the place? Demi Moore, who had a lead role in the film along with David Duchovny.

Moore came to see the house and took an immediate liking to it — especially to the owner’s cat, Tom, who Moore asked to remain at the house while she, her assistant and chef stayed for five weeks. To add to the home’s star lustre, Moore’s husband, Ashton Kutcher, visited to celebrate her 46th birthday.

Andersonville, or Camp Sumter as it was officially known, was one of the largest of many Confederate military prisons established during the Civil War. It was built early in 1864 after Confederate officials decided to move the large number of Federal prisoners kept in and around Richmond, Virginia, to a place of greater security and a more abundant food supply . During the 14 months the prison existed, more than 45,000 Union soldiers were confined here. Of these, almost 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure to the elements.

The approx. 6,600 sq. ft. structure is located at the corner of Georgia Highway 140, officially called Arnold Mill Road (a.k.a. Hickory Flats Highway to residents of 30+ years), and Cox Road in Alpharetta (north Fulton County), Georgia. Construction began in 1969 and was completed (for the most part), in 1977, according to Mr. McLaughlin who completed this "labor of love" primarily by himself, but some help from friends and relatives. The structure was completed using granite mined from quarries near both Stone Mountain & Elberton, Georgia. The pink & white marble used in the construction of the home was mined at the Georgia Marble Quarry in Tate, Georgia (a nearby community to Ball Ground, GA).

The United States has 18 Ohio-class submarines:

* 14 nuclear-powered SSBNs, each armed with 24 Trident II SLBMs; they are also known as "Trident" submarines, and provide the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad of the United States strategic deterrent forces
* 4 nuclear-powered SSGNs, each armed with 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles with conventional warheads

The 14 Trident II SSBNs together carry around fifty percent of the total U.S. strategic warhead inventory. The exact number varies in an unpredictable and highly classified manner, at or below a maximum set by various strategic arms limitation treaties. Although the missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarine goes on patrol, the platform, when required, is capable of rapid targeting using secure and constant at-sea communications links. The Ohio class is the largest type of submarine ever constructed for the U.S. Navy, and are second only to the Russian Typhoon-class in mass and size.

The Ohio-class submarines were specifically designed for extended deterrence patrols. Each submarine is complemented by two crews, Blue and Gold, with each crew operating on a 100-day interval. To decrease the time in port for crew turnover and replenishment, three large logistics hatches are fitted to provide large diameter resupply and repair openings. These hatches allow sailors to rapidly transfer supply pallets, equipment replacement modules and machinery components, significantly reducing the time required for replenishment and maintenance. The class design allows the vessel to operate for 15+ years between overhauls. The ships are purported to be as stealthy at 20 knots (their cruising speed) as previous subs were at a dead crawl of 6 knots, although exact information remains classified.

This is a monument commemorating a small group of Sigma Chi Fraternity members who secretly held meetings at night during the Civil War.

"It was ascertained that a number of the fraternity were in the army of Tennessee under General Joseph E. Johnston during the Atlanta campaign in 1864. It was conceded that the South was forever disunited from the general government, and it was assumed that all chapters throughout the South would cease to exist. Furthermore, it was deemed expedient that we brothers should know each other and our several commands for the purpose of relief in distress, and communication in a case of need, with our Northern brethren. In the ruin at hand my sentiment was to preserve the lofty principles typified by the White Cross. I know that I had no authority to establish a chapter of Sigma Chi outside a college, or at all; but, isolated as we were, I thought I should raise the standard and fix a rallying point. By doing so we should preserve the Order, whether we failed or not in our struggle for independence."

Quote by Harry St. John Dixon, a brother from the Psi Chapter at the University of Virginia taken from "The Constantine Chapter" page 40-41. The Norman Shield, 41st Edition

Furthermore, it was deemed expedient that we brothers should know each other and our several commands for the purpose of relief in distress, and communication in a case of need, with our Northern brethren. In the ruin at hand my sentiment was to preserve the lofty principles typified by the White Cross. I know that I had no authority to establish a chapter of Sigma Chi outside a college, or at all; but, isolated as we were, I thought I should raise the standard and fix a rallying point. By doing so we should preserve the Order, whether we failed or not in our struggle for independence."

Quote by Harry St. John Dixon, a brother from the Psi Chapter at the University of Virginia taken from "The Constantine Chapter" page 40-41. The Norman Shield, 41st Edition]]>1root://styleMaps#default+nicon=0x304+hicon=0x314-84.32775600,33.45494200mlc1us (VirtualGlobetrotting)

This 1/2 mile paved oval track has been abandoned since 1984. It opened in 1966. It held nine NASCAR Grand National (today's Sprint Cup) events from 1966-71. Richard Petty won four times, Bobby Allison won three, and David Pearson and Bobby Isaac each won once.

The track was used in a few Dodge television commercials in 2011. The ads show various Dodge cars and trucks driving around the neglected speedway.

The land was purchased for a development project that fell apart when the economy soured. The property is currently on the market for $985,000.

In July 1970, 300,000 people came here for the Atlanta Pop Festival. Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, and the Allman Brothers Band were among many acts which performed over three days. Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner just before a midnight fireworks display on July 4.

It was also used for scenes in the 1977 film "Greased Lightning" starring Richard Pryor. The film was a biography of Wendell Scott, a black stock car driver in the early years of the sport.

The Georgia Guidestones are a huge granite artifact located on a hilltop in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. It is sometimes referred to as the "American Stonehenge", a title which has been applied at times to a number of other structures. A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian Hieroglyphs.

When completed in 1847 with its 25 million bricks and walls 7.5 feet thick, Fort Pulaski was the ultimate defense system of its day. Part of a series of forts which protected major seaports from foreign attack, the stronghold would not be tested until the Civil War. Seized by Georgia state troops early in the war, the fort was besieged by Federal forces. Here on April 11, 1862, defense strategy changed worldwide when Union rifled cannon, firing from more than a mile away on Tybee Island, first over came a masonry fortification.

The effectiveness of rifled artillery, which fired a bullet-shaped projectile with great accuracy at long range, was clearly demonstrated. After only 30 hours of bombardment, the walls were breached and the Confederates surrendered. The fall of Fort Pulaski tightened the Union blockade of southern ports and kept Savannah from exporting cotton and importing military supplies and civilian goods so vital to the Confederacy. But more importantly, the success of the new weapon marked the end of the era of masonry fortifications.

The commander of the Union forces captured the military world's surprise in these words... "The result of this bombardment must cause...a change in the construction of fortifications as radical as that foreshadowed in naval architecture by the conflict between the Monitor and Merrimac. No works of stone or brick can resist the impact of rifled artillery of heavy caliber." Major General David Hunter, U.S. Army.

A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian Hieroglyphs.

The artifact is almost twenty feet (6m) tall, and made from six granite slabs weighing more than 100 tons in all. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some clarifying notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.

Atlanta Fish Market – notably marked by a three-story copper fish sculpture in front

Controversial art installation. Depending on when the city has been by this lot often looks like an abandoned building project. When it is clean it looks great though.
